Koda Kumi was standing at the center of the street filled with people walking from left to right and right to left. As she waits, she sees people who are on phone and when couples met each other… Then it started to rain and she starts to recall the memory of her and him in the past when they met in the rain. There are scenes of Koda Kumi wearing a long black dress and singing in a room filled with glass balls/decorations. I love Koda Kumi ’s nail art!
Freaky
In this MV, you can see another side of Koda Kumi – A wild and bad gal. Koda Kumi was acting as a boss and discussing things with another boss. Koda Kumi is able to dance even though she is wearing a purple, semi transparent, long and a super high-cut dress. Then Koda Kumi , wearing rugged clothes, dance with a group of girls and fight with a group of men. Woo… I’m pretty impressed with this MV!
I'm struck by the insidious, computer-driven tendency to take things out of the domain of muscular activity and put them into the domain of mental activity. The transfer is not paying off. Sure, muscles are unreliable, but they represent several million years of accumulated finesse.
You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.
There are admirable potentialities in every human being. Believe in your strength and your youth. Learn to repeat endlessly to yourself, 'It all depends on me.'
The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You've got to keep on working that talent. Someday I'll reach for it and it won't be there.
Reveal not every secret you have to a friend, for how can you tell but that friend may hereafter become an enemy. And bring not all mischief you are able to upon an enemy, for he may one day become your friend.
The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is 'look under foot.' You are always nearer the divine and the true sources of your power than you think.
We should every night call ourselves to an account; What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abort of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself.
I like coincidences. They make me wonder about destiny, and whether free will is an illusion or just a matter of perspective. They let me speculate on the idea of some master plan that, from time to time, we're allowed to see out of the corner of our eye.
